Parecis Titi Characteristics

The Parecis titi^[1] (Plecturocebus parecis) is a species of titi, a New World Monkey native to Brazil.

These South American primates can be distinguished from all other Plecturocebus species by their generally grayish agouti fur accompanied by a reddish-brown back.
The neck, legs, chest, and inner extremities are white, and its tail also turns white towards the tip.

Parecis Titi Facts

The range of the new species is in the deforestation arc of the Amazon, where large tracts of forest are being destroyed for timber, settlements, and industrial agriculture.
In the local Paresi language, it is known as otôhô.
Parecis titi monkeys live in small family groups of a monogamous pair and their young.
The males help care for the baby by holding it when the female is not nursing.
They usually sleep together in a vine-covered tree, often returning to the same tree night after night.
